Saying the process was unfair, Cevons Waste Management has filed a protest with the newly-established Bid Protest Committee (BPC) over the award of the recently announced $221M contract to Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. for the operation and maintenance of the Haags Bosch Landfill.
“We have appealed to the Bid Protest Committee because the Ministry of Communities rejected our request… We feel and can justify our claim that the process for selection was not fair and in accordance with the criteria set out,” Chief Executive Officer of Cevons Waste Management Morse Archer told Stabroek News after the filing last week.
This will be the first tender review for the three-member body, which comprises Renee McDonald, the chairperson, and Archibald Clifton and Ewart Adams. It will likely put even more pressure on government for the promised establishment of the Public Procurement Commission.
